With two days until the official launch, more details have leaked about the trio of foldable phones that Samsung is about to reveal. The latest leak details the screens, storage, batteries, and other core specs of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and the new Z Flip 7 FE.
The new information comes from WinFuture’s Roland Quandt, who claims to have obtained official Samsung promotional materials for the new phones, which will be officially revealed at a Galaxy Unpacked event this Wednesday, July 9th.
The Fold 7 is expected to be substantially thinner than its predecessors, and Quandt quoted marketing materials that say it will measure 4.2mm thick when unfolded and 8.9mm folded. That would make it the same thickness as the Oppo Find N5 and just 0.1mm thicker than Honor’s Magic V5. But at 216 grams, it would actually be the lightest book-style foldable phone yet.
It cuts the weight despite having bigger screens than the Fold 6 — 6.5 inches on the outside and 8 inches on the inside — and squeezing in the exact same battery capacity of 4,400mAh. As expected, it’ll be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. This may vary by market, however, as Quandt previously reported on a 1TB version of the Fold 7, in line with what it offers for the current Fold 6. The only camera detail listed is a resolution of 200 megapixels, presumably for the main camera, and it will apparently launch in blue, black, and silver.
The smaller Flip 7 is just as interesting. Quandt claimed that it will have a substantially larger 4.1-inch cover screen, sharing an image that shows this will wrap right around the two camera lenses, just like on Motorola’s recent Razr flip phones. That design appeared over the weekend in an alleged hands-on video of the new Z Flip, and has been seen in renders since March.
The Flip 7 is also tipped to be substantially thinner than older models despite its bigger 4,300mAh battery, only a little smaller than the Fold 7’s. Storage options and colors are the same as the bigger phone, too, though the Flip sticks to a 50-megapixel main camera.
Quandt also has a few details on the long-rumored Flip 7 FE, which is expected to be a cheaper take on the flip phone. It drops to 128GB and 256GB storage, along with a smaller 4,000mAh battery. It has the same screen sizes as the main Flip 7, suggesting that it will also use the wrap-around cover display design, though that contradicts earlier reports that it will reuse the Flip 6’s design. It’s apparently only launching in black and white versions.
Alongside leaks of the new phones, Quandt shared what appear to be official marketing images of the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, which have apparently adopted the squircle body design that Samsung introduced in the Galaxy Watch Ultra. His latest leaks don’t mention the rumored Samsung trifold, which the company may tease this week but is unlikely to reveal in full.
